There was an article somewhere I can't remember l, but it was discussing female singers with the indie affectation. I love lorde but she is one of the key people that do it. It's like a slurghing more than anything, like they are drunk singing. I can't stand Ann-Marie it's like she's struggling to form a coherent sentence. It's all too common these days Selena Gomez is another one.

Weirdly enough, I've found Ariana's best singing to be when she isn't singing her own songs. I saw her taking part in some sort of musical impressions game on Jimmy Fallon's show and she sounding amazing. Whenever I hear her singing her own songs though, her voice is all over the place.

When I saw the thread title, I instantly thought of that annoying girly whimsy voice on that Lloyd’s bank advert (a cover of You’re Not Alone).
I don’t think the ones you mentioned fit the bill.

My instant thought is those godawful covers sung by girls with that 'ooh, I'm oh so fragile' voice. For examplehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOE7-pJIP0k
Take a good song and make it the singing equivalent of finger nails down a blackboard. Well done!

Live she knocks spots off every other live act ive ever seen whether thats her voice or because she puts on a show im not sure but ive never come out of a concert feeling ive got my moneys worth like i have with her (and im in my 40s so no teeny bopper).

Freya Ridings, I really don't get. I saw her on the Zoe Ball show at Christmas and she was so awkward it was embarrassing. Sigrid as well, prancing around like she's a little girl at the youth club singing about a sucker punch.
